American Cheese and Wine Evening – 24 October, 2016

https://bcmagazine.smugmug.com/Bcene-photos/2016/American-Cheese-and-Wine/i-W2NrTL6

An evening of sublime flavours as the US Consul General hosted an evening of American wine and US cheese.

America is well known for it’s wine, but it might surprise you to know that the US is now the world’s biggest cheese exporter. And we’re not talking those synonymous processed cheese slices. A thriving quality artisanal cheese industry offers everything from award wining cheddars to sublime blue cheeses, ‘Parmesan’ wheels and ‘French’ bries and much more – there’s something for everyone to enjoy and explore. And soon to be, if the US Dairy Export Council and Schuman Cheese are successful, available in a shop near you.

Hong Kong v China Women’s World Cup Qualifier @ HKCC – 10 October, 2016

https://bcmagazine.smugmug.com/Bcene-photos/2016/Hong-Kong-v-China-Womens-World/i-JpgxHqg

A boisterous crowd gathered early on a glorious Monday morning at the HK Cricket Club to cheer our hometown heroines as they took on, and vanquished, the mainlanders in a Women’s World Cup Qualifier.

After smashing the Chinese ladies all around Wong Nai Chung Gap, our ladies induced such fear amongst the girls from north of the border that they kept running themselves out to avoid Mariko’s fiery white ball and Betty’s bamboozling brilliance.

Battle of Victors @ HKCEC – 8 October, 2016

HongKongers were out in numbers to cheer on Rex ‘The Wonder kid’ Tso at The Battle of Victors fight night. After a hard fought 10 rounds against Japan’s Ryuto Maekawa, Rex won a unanimous points victory to bring his record to 20-0. The tough fight, fought with a generous amount of sportsmanship and mutual respect, saw the boxers go toe-to-toe for extended periods and had chants of Rex, Rex reverberating around the HKCEC.

The kid is growing up! He still lacks that knock-out punching power that will earn respect from the very best. Ryuto took a lot of punches, and dished out a fair few, but never looked remotely afraid of getting knocked down by Tso.

There wasn’t much on the undercard, Raymond Poon Kai-ching received a thunderous cheer after winning his second pro bout with a knock-out. But you have to feel for Australian James Gibbs on his professional debut. After giving up a career as a miner to become a boxer, he was knocked down, and almost out, by the first punch he received inside 20 seconds of the first round. He lasted less than another minute before the the referee stopped the fight.
